competitor is required to wear a Coast Guard approved personal flotation device
securely fastened, at all times while the boat is being propelled by the
combustion engine. Furthermore, a kill switch must be fastened to the driver
anytime the combustion engine is propelling the boat. Failure to do so is grounds
for disqualification of the offending team's catch. Running lights must be
operational and turned on at the blast-off of each tournament. Each
competitor's boat must be equipped with a live well system capable of keeping a
tournament limit of bass alive. Any boat equipped with a motor that exceeds the

tanks that are not installed by the boat manufacturer are prohibited.
Additional gas tanks that are factory options and installed by a manufacturer's
authorized dealer are legal. Boats that do not have factory-installed gas tanks

11. STATE AND FEDERAL GAME
REGULATIONS

All participants are expected to abide by all state and federal
laws and game regulations. Any team who intentionally violates a law or
regulation in an attempt to gain an unfair advantage will have their catch
disqualified. In the case of multiple governing authorities, the strictest law
is applicable. Any participant who consumes, or is under the influence of
alcoholic beverages, stimulants or depressants during any Fishers of Men
function will have their catch disqualified. (Prescribed medications taken per
doctor's instructions are excluded)

12. SCORING

A limit of bass, as set by the tournament director, (largemouth,
smallmouth, & spotted bass) may be weighed in. Minimum lengths will be
set at the discretion of the Division Director but at no time will be less than
the legal limit. Lengths will be measured with mouth closed. A short
fish brought to the scales will not be weighed, and will result in a 1-pound
penalty. Dead fish will be penalized .25 (1/4) pound. The dead fish penalty
will also apply to any fish weighed as a Big Fish if that fish is dead. All
culling must be done at the time a fish is caught that would exceed the set
limit; no team may continue fishing with more than the tournament limit in the
live well at any time during the tournament, with the exception of dead fish
that is not included in their limit. The penalty for
possessing more than the tournament limit, bringing more than the tournament
limit to the scales, or culling at the ramp will be 3 pounds. On any water
where State or local laws prohibit culling or impose limits of less than the
limit set by the tournament director, the state or local laws will replace the
above as the rule.

13. EMERGENCIES

Competitors shall remain with their partners in the boat at all
times during the tournament, except in the event of sickness or brief
excursions for "nature calling", severe storm or other such hazard.
It is permitted for a competitor to leave the boat for marina services.
Competitors may leave the boat to dislodge it, but only to return the boat in
the direction it came from. Leaving the boat to advance it is not permitted.
(In falling water conditions, a team may leave the boat to advance it only to
return from water they accessed without leaving the boat. If for any reason
either team member decides to leave the tournament waters early, his or her
partner must also stop fishing and return to the dock. In case of a breakdown,
one partner may return with fish by another tournament boat while the other
partner is permitted to stay with the disabled boat.

14. WEIGH-IN PROCEDURES

Weigh-in will be on a first come first serve basis. Once fish have
been presented to a Tournament Official to be weighed-in, all fish become the
property of the F.O.M.N.T.T. and no additional fish may be brought to the scales.
Bags will be limited in order to avoid a bottleneck at the weigh-in tanks.
Teams not weighing any fish are still required to check in with tournament
officials in order to account for all teams. Once a team member has checked in
or left the boat for the purpose of checking in, neither team member may fish
or continue fishing.

15. LATE PENALTY

Competitors who are not checked in by the check in deadline will
be penalized at a rate of 1 pound per minute, up to 15 minutes at which time
